Dez Bryant Jr. Receives Offer From SEC School, What to Know About Son of Cowboys Legend

Dez Bryant Jr., a Class of 2028 wide receiver and the son of former Dallas Cowboys legend Dez Bryant, is receiving some early interest from Power 4 schools.

Bryant has received an offer from Kentucky on Wednesday, he announced Thursday on social media.

Bryant previously received offers from two other Power 4 schools in Texas A&M and SMU, according to On3's Keegan Pope.

He also holds offers from Arkansas State, Texas State and Sacramento State, per Pope.

Bryant is listed at 5'10" and 165 pounds out of Southlake Carroll High School in Texas. He is not yet ranked nationally by 247Sports.

His father, who played nine NFL seasons and earned three Pro Bowl nods with the Cowboys, reacted to the news of Bryant's latest offer with two fire emojis:

He had previously reacted to Bryant's numbers in March at the Under Armour Next Camp.

The wide receiver posted a 40-yard dash time of 4.46 seconds and a 9'2" broad jump at the camp.

Bryant spent his freshman season at Colleyville Heritage before transferring to Southlake Carroll ahead of his sophomore season.

Southlake Carroll was ranked as one of the top teams in the country last season by High School on SI.

Two players who starred for the team last season, wide receiver Brock Boyd and quarterback Angelo Renda, have gone on to sign with Power 4 programs in Ohio State and Pitt, respectively.

Bryant could now look to follow a similar path as he continues his high school career at Southlake Carroll next season.

His offer from Kentucky comes amid a hot recruiting streak for Will Stein, who was named head coach in December after previously working as Oregon's offensive coordinator.

In his first few months with the Wildcats, Stein has helped Kentucky put together what is currently ranked as the seventh-best 2027 recruiting class in the country by 247Sports.

It looks like Stein is now looking ahead even further into the future as he works toward adding his first player to Kentucky's 2028 recruiting class.
